The failure test of metallized film capacitor adopts the method of high accelerated life test , . The failure test platform is composed of HS-50 L temperature humidity chambers and SX2–5-12 temperature test chambers. In this paper, the initial capacitance of the capacitor is taken as the reference value.
In the case of film capacitors, the two most relevant parameters affecting the failure rate are tem-perature and voltage. In the IEC61709:2011 standard, models for stress factors are consequently applied in order to convert the failure rates under reference conditions to values applying for oper-ating conditions.
In this paper, the failure analysis of commercial metallized film capacitors under different conditions of high temperature and humidity is carried out, the failure mechanism is mainly revealed, and the parameters in the publication of life prediction model are determined on the basis of existing data. The conclusions are as follows:
The accelerated testing is an important method to investigate the reliability performance of DC film capacitors. In , the aging of metallized polymer capacitors has been studied under accelerated testing conditions of voltage and temperature.
The finish of film capacitors is assessed in compliance with EPCOS finish specifications. For more detailed specification, refer to the "General technical information" chapter. When applicable, the individual data sheets are definitive for finishing. The failure rate is defined as the failure percentage divided by a specified operating period.
The test voltage of a capacitor is higher than the rated DC voltage and may only be applied for a limited time. The dielectric strength is measured between the electrodes with a test voltage of 1.5 x UNDC for 10 s, at metalized film capacitors and of 2 x UNDC at film/foil capacitors for typically 2 s.
